Scavenger Hunt

At Samantha's request, the group would spend the night on The Normandy while she got to work. Also at Samantha's request, Jane, Liara, Miranda, Jack, Ashlsy and Kasumi would give up all their clothes to her before they went off to bed, being promised that they would get them back in the morning.

The next morning, a giddy Samantha sat in the control room drinking from her coffee mug as the doors opened. Jane, Liara, and Ashley walked in, red faced and covered with their hands. Miranda and Jack, however, walked in wrapped in a bed sheet and using a pillow, respectively.

And then there was the still holocuffed Kasumi...

"Okay, Samantha." Jane said, "Let's hear what you have set up for us. Preferably after you tell us where our clothes are."

"I don't know... Somewhere?" Samantha replied slyly, barely containing her excitement.

"That's your angle?" Jack asked with a laugh, "You hid our clothes around The Normandy and now we have to find them?"

"Where's the fun or the thrill in that?!" Samantha asked with a chuckle of her own. "No, I had a few of my University friends over to help me hide your clothes all around Illium. One article at a time."

"You WHAT?!" Ashley shrieked as the others went slack jawed, Jack dropping her pillow while Miranda let the sheet drop.

"Yep. Took us all night." Samantha said, a mixture of excitement and pride in her voice. "All you six have to do is go on a little scavenger hunt for your clothes and come back before midnight tonight. And EDI has agreed not to let anyone without clothes on back onto The Normandy; regardless of rank. Only those that are fully dressed, or have at least some clothes, will be let back in. But only the clothes they had on the other day, so no stealing other clothes to make it shorter and easier. Good luck! And because this is really fun, I really hope I lose this challenge so I can get in on the action."

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me!"

"Have you gone mad?!"

"How the hell am I supposed to search for clothes and get dressed with these cuffs behind my back?!"

"Liara! Commander! Say something about this!"

Jane and Liara looked at each other. On the one hand, this did seem kind of extreme. On the other hand, Jane was growing damper by the second at the very idea about how humiliating this would be for her. And it seemed to rub off on Liara as the asari did the same, her cheeks turning a light purple at the idea.
